About Engagement Rings.
, Let me consider Is marriage
really a failure? I ought to be in
a position to answer that: world-wide
conundrum, if any one is. Marriage,
in my opinion, is a great success, but
courtship is a far greater one. How
do I know? Simply by looking oyer
my sales books. We make a special
ly of wedding and engagement rings,
the sales during the past year being
ahead of all previous records. Of
course we read of divorces occasion
ally, but such persons generally get
married again, and that just goes to
prove my assertion. As for courtship
—well, you may not believe it, but it
is a fact that fifty percent of the sin
gle men nowadays carry engage
ment rings to suit the tastes of their
various lady friends, so as to have
them handy in case of an emergenc y
For instance, if Duke is about to call
on Caroline, who has a liking for
diamonds, he makes sure to take
along with him a diamond ring. If
he is going to visit Jane he has an
emerald ring handy, and so on.
Then, again, men and women of
all ages, who had firmly made up
their minds never to marry at all have
become engaged, and some of them
have married just because of all this
talk about marriage being a failure.
There are nu more long engage
ments.
It is an ordinary occurrence for a
gentleman to purchase an engage
ment ring here on the first of the
month and about the last to return
with his lady love to select the hoop
of gold that is to bind them together
for life. In some instances, and not
a few either, the lovers come here to.
gether and buy the engagement ring
and the wedding ring at the same
time. Some years ago such a thing
was never heard of.
Do you ever sell engagement rings
to women?
Of course we do. When the man
has not got the requisite cash and is
at all backward in making advances,
the lady is often considerate enough
to buy the ring herself, and to save
him any embarassment she is thought
ful enough to name the day without
putting him to the trouble of asking.
Strange, too, that women who do this
sort of thing are old enough to know
the value of money. Oh, yes
Wedding rings? Yes, sir, This
way, please —Ex.
The Treating System. I
The United States is the only
country in the world where the treat
ing system is practiced. To it is un
doubtedly attributable a large part
of the excess in social drinking which
obtains in all paits of the country.
There is no sense or reason in the
custom; it is the parent of extrava
gance and the fruitful source of in
temperance. But the treating system
is strongly embedded in the social
ethics of those who indulge the habit
of drinking stimulants. A man who
takes an occasional drink himself,
but never treats, is the object of crit
icism from a large class of our male
population. Men drink in couples,
in trios and in crowds, but in com
paratively few instances singly. The
result of the habit of grouping is fre
quent over-indulgence and a long
train of consequent evils.
Various efforts have been made to
break the force of this foolish habit,
but it apparently loses none of its
popularity. Anti treating societies
have been formed, but most of them
have been laughed out of existence
by the convivial majority who ob
serves the lone drinker as he marches
up and takes his solitary swallow.
It is now proposed in Pennsylvania
to take legal steps for the accom
plishment of a reform in this matter.
A bill has been introduced
popular branch of the legislature
prohibiting treating, making it
penal offense, punishable by a fine of
not less than $50 or over $100 for
any one to treat another to intoxicat
ing liquors. Of course, the bill will
not pass. It could not be enforced,
if it did pass, but it is an energetic
protest against a bad national habit
and may serve to quicken discussion
of its follies and evil effects.—Macon

What One Man Can Do.
Tho following item, which wo clip
from an exchange, shows what can bs
done in Georgia by a man without cap
ital; ‘ '
“David Moore, a colored farmer of
the lower portion of Pulaski county, is
entitled to the bine ribbon as a one-
horse farmer. He made this year,
with only ono plow, 18 bales of
ootton 210 bushels of com, 100 bushels
of oats, and cane, peas and potatoes ii
abundance.”
This colored man, if he was a “crop
per,” was furnished with & mule, im
plements, food for himself and family
and mule, until his crop was made,
when the advances made for food were
deducted from the products of his crop
If be was a renter, he owned bis
mule, worth about 8100, plow and
harness worth about $10, and bad
enough credit to furnish him his pro
visions. Now, let uj see what he
made. His 18 bales of cotton brought
him 8720, his 2X0 bushels of corn
were Worth 8100, and his 100 bushels
of oats were worth 850, making 8870,
exclusive of his cane, peas and pota-
Leaving his corn and oats to
e*d his mule, we have 8720 to pay
his lent, which would probably bo 860
to $75, and his groceries and cLthing.
There are many large northern far
mers with thousands of dollars invest
ed, who can barely make ,ends meet.
It will be remembered that this negro’s
crop was made with the simplest tools
and by the most primitive methodp.
There are many poor men in the North
who could, in a few years, become in
dependent in Georgia.—Recorder.
Seventy-Five Miles an Hour.
Seventy-five miles an hour—or a
mile is forty-eight seconds—is the as
tounding speed which has just been at
tained by the “West Coast Express,”
of the London and Northwestern ltail-
way, on its way from the English to
the Scotch metropolis. Tne record of
the “Flying Scotchman,” which has
hitherto been known as the fastest
train ia the world, has now been bro
ken, and it is scarcely likely that for
time any attempt will be made to
surpass the West Coast Express. Of
course such lightning speed could
only be attained on the most perfectly
laid and carefully tended pe:
way, as, apart from everything else,
the strain on the rai's, especially at the
curves, must have been terrific. It is
1 easy to realizo the sensations of the
London correspondent of the New York
Times, who was on board the steam

Europe At Our Doors,
The proposed exposition ol the
Three Americans at Washington in
1892 may turn out to be a very im
portant event in our commercial his
tory. >-
We are so full of a sense of our own
self-importance that very few of us
have ever seriously considered the
extent of Europe’s possessions in this
hemisphere. -The Washington Post
furnishes the following summary:
Great Britian owns nearly half of
the" North American comment and
twenty of the principal islands of the
West Indies. She also has a colony
in Central America, another in South
America, and her capitalists have in
vested in railway and goyermental
securities of South America to the
sum of at least eight hundred million
dollars.
France owns five of the islands of
the West Indies, a colony in South
America, and her citizens have for
several years past been building a
ship canal across Central America.
Germany has a strong commercial
foothold in Mexico, Central and
South America, and her capitalists
have recently made a large loan to
the Mexican government.
Spain owns Cuba, which is the
principol island of the West Indies,
also two smaller islands.
The nations of Europe, together,
control five-sixths of the annual for
eign commerce of the yarious Amer
ican nations and an island south of
the United * States whose commerce
is now one thousand million dollars
in value.
We have not even touched the
golden fields of enterprise and en
deavor at our doors. The Eng
lish, French, Germans and Spaniards
have established themselves under
our very noses, and they are reaping
the rich harvest that should be ours.
How to secure and hold the com
merce ot the western hemisphere
should be the object of our states
manship. It may not be the great-
sest, but it is the most profitable
question that looms up before us.
When we make our neighbors our
customers, our labor will command
higher wages, our mills and furnaces
will run night and day and not supply
the demand, and there will be no oc
casion for a panic or a strike for a
century to come.—Constitution.

A New Rose.
A new and interesting variety of
rose, tho Rcsa, beggemant, var. gen-
uina, the wild rose from central Asia,
has recently been discovered and
traduced into Europe. In a recent
number of Garden and Forest this rcse
is desoribed as haviog a height of from
four to six feet, remaining in bloom all
the summer. The flower, though
small, is of a pure white color, and the
leaves have a sweet-brier odor. At the
herbarium of Harvard university the
plant has proved hardy. This inter
esting contribution to our roses leads

world. From that region come the
greater number of the many plants be
longing in tho family of roses which
contribute fraits or flowers to tho de

' The “glorious uncertainty of the
law” is proverbial; but it is a little
singular, when one comes to think of
it, that this uncertainty never iuures
by accident, or otherwise, to the
benefit of the honest man or the pub
lie. It- is always the criminal who
profits by the uncertainty. The courts
do not discover fly specks in indict
ments or commitments which enable
the public to get a firmer and more
lasting hold on the law breakers.
And those accidents with the un
dotted i’s and t’s are unearthed in
the interests of rascals and rascality.

Jay Gould’s Scoop,
The New York Herald prints a
sensational account of the efforts of
Jay Gould to grasp six thousand
miles of Southern railways.
Little Wizard” is represented as
being at his old wrecking business,
anxious to tie up a new system of
roads and of desiring to hold the
rail lines of the South in the hollow
of his hand. His purchases are
rated all the way lrom 20,000 to
,000 shares of Richmond Terminal
and he is still buying.
The Herald has no love lor Gould
and seeks to thwart him in all ol his
movements. So the story of the
Herald must be received with some
allowance. Mr. Inman denies that
Gould has “gobbled” the Richmond
Terminal system, declaring that he
has a traffic arrangement by which
his freight is transferred over their
roads to the Eastern seaboard.
The Herald, however, publishes an
interview with the attorney general
ot Virginia, who was at the time con-
idering the question of forfeiture of
the Terminal charter and who did
not hesitate to declare that—
The people of the South had
everything to fear fr6m railroad
monopolists. The tendency of the
age was to centralization and plutoc
racy, and the people’s liberality
well as their interests were endan
gered. The various reports con
tained in the Herald from the South
gave, he considered, a fair statement
of the “gobble” ot the roads and
the effects of the monopoly upon the
merchants and farming classes. He
would not say anything as to the
matter ot the torfeiture of the Ter
minal charter, the papers on which
case he now has under consideration,
but that he would render his decision
at as early a day as possible.”
Yesterday, however, the attorney
general declined to bring the action
urged, on the ground that it should
be instituted in the circuit court
where are located the principal
offices of the company.—Augusta
Chronicle.
What Five Dollars Can Do.
A little money some times goes a
great way. As an illustration tf this,
read the following, founded upon an
incident which is arid to have actually
occurred:
A owed $15 to B.
B owed $20 to C.
C owed $15 to D.
B owed $30 to E.
E owed $12.50 to F
F owed 810 to A.
AH of tkrm were seated at the same
table.
A having a $5 note, handed it to
B, remarking that it paid $5 of the
815 he owed B.
B passed the noio to C, with the
remark that it paid 85 of the 820 which
he owed.
G passed it to D, and paid with it
85 of the 815 he owed D.
D handed it to E, in pert payment
of $30<owed him.
E gave it to F, to apply on account
of the $12.50 due him*
F passed it back to A, saying, *‘Thi9
payB half the amount I owe you.”
A again passed it to B, saying, “1
now only owe you 85.”
B passed it again to C, with the re
mark, “This reduces my indebtedness
to ycu to 815.”
G again paid it to D, reducing his
indebtedness to $5.
D paid it over to E, saying: “I now
owe you $20.”
E handed it again to F, saying:
“This reduces my indebtedness to you
to 82.50.”
Again F handed the note to A, say
ing: “Now I don't owe you any
thing.”
A passed it immediately to B, thus
cancelling the balance of his indebted
ness.
B handed it to C, reducing his in
debtedness to $5.
C cancelled the balance of hi3 debt
to D by handing tho note to him.
D paid it again to E, saying: “I
now only owe you $15.”
Then E remarked to F< If you will
give me $2 50, this will set la my in?
debtednees to you.”
F took $2.50 from his pocket,
handed it to E, and returned the 85
note to his pocket, and thus the spell
was broken, the riDgle $5 note having
paid $82.50 and cancelled
debt to F, P’s debt to A, and at the
same time having reduced B’s debt to
C from $20 to $5. and D’s debt
I from 830 tO $15."
Quaint Weather Proverbs.
Popular Superstitions Co!
ncctcd Wills February.
Of weather proverbs there is no end,
and a few which apply to “double fac
ed February” will be read with iateres
and noted carelully.
The French have a proverb thal
“February rain is only good to fill
ditches,” and the Germans say heavy
north winds in February forebode
fruitful year.” *
According to another proverb, 1889
ought to be a good flax year as
February bright and clear
Gives a rood flax year.
Feb. 2, is also widely known a*
ground hog day, and “if the ground
*hog is sunning himself on Feb. 2 he
will return for four weeks to his
winter quarters again.”
“St. Dorothea (the 6th) gives the
most snow,” is another saying, and
“when the cat in February lies in the
sun, she will again creep behind the
stove ia March,” is another proverb.
Anotherjfc, ‘ Of all the months in a
year, curso a fair February.”
“If cn 2nd of February the goose
finds it wet, then the sheep will have
grass on the 25th of March,” but this
doea not consist with another saying
that “when drops hang on the fence on
the 2cd ot February, icicles will hang
there on the 25th of March.” As
there was no rain on Feb. 2ad, last,
the reader can supply his own conject-
*“For every thunder with rain in
February, there will be a cold spell (in
May.”
In Sweden the nights of Feb. 20,
and 28, are crlled “steal nights’’ on ac
count cf their cutting severity.

The supreme court of Georgia ren
dered a decision the other day which
should receive the careful attention ot
county commissioners and other offi
cers whose duty it is to let out con
tracts for building bridge/. The
court decided that where the officers
failed to take a sufficient guarantee
from the contractors, and any party
was injured owing to a defect in the
bridge built by them, the injured pai
ties could sue either the county or the
contractor. This decision, no doubt,
will make county commissioners
more careful.—News.

Backbiting. ]
Rev. J. B. Culpepper, in his sermon
The I ^weit somewhat at leDgth
upon the abominable and Binful habit
of backbiting. He explained iu s very
original way how it ia done, and no
doubt everybody was forcibly impress
ed with the truth as he presented it.
Bickbiting ii, beyond all question, one
of the me st prevalent acd odious evils
ot the present dry, acd besides the
inherent wickedness of the habit, it is
doing much to alienate friendship!
and to destroy the pleasant relation of
neighbor.*. It has been said by some
writer, if every one knew what
everybody else said ab».u, them there
would not be three friends in the world.
This may or may not be strictly true,
but it is a very pointed and significant
criticism of the evil of gossiping.
Some people would pretty near die if
they could not perambulate the com
munity in which they live “carrying
news” from one to another which is
calculated to make enemies. They
eeem to think that it is their special
duty to sow the seeds of strife and
enmity. They are not ‘peace-maker?,’
but destroyers of peace and bappincs?,
and we are glad the preacher condemn
ed the habit in such plain direct terms.
It may not have the effect of correct-
ing’it, but it was an impressive re
minder that the habit is baneful in its
results.—Enterprise & Appeal.
A Theory About Railroad Acci
dents. .
More accidents have occurred on
the lines ol the Georgia Central rail
road system since January last, than
ever before, within the same length
ot time. These accidents have been
to freight trains, and the loss has
been principally property of the road.
—Perry Home Journal.
It would be interesting to know
the causes to which all these acci
dents may be attributed. The fact
that most of them have been to
freight trams, is not remarkable, but
is worthy of note. In some cases, the
accidents have been caused by trucks
breaking. A gentleman who has
given the matter some attention
advances the theory that many of
the accidents arc due to the fact that
freight boxes belonging to Western
lines are loaded beyond their actual
capacity. The theory is that many
of these cars are made of inferior
materials, and that their capacity is
overrated. This may or may not be
true, but the alarming frequency of
the accidents inflict heavy losses
upon the railroad companies, and it
appears that the theory has sufficient
merit to justify railroad officials m
riving it a thorough investigation —

There is another proverb which says
‘ there is always one fine week in Feb

“wict-.r’s back breaks about the middle

which says, “If it enows on Fib. 2, on

then summer will emmy-soon.”
There are two proverbs for Feb
One is “If cold at St. Peter's
day (Feb. 22) it will last longer,” and
the other “The night of St. Peter’s
shows what weather we will have for
the next forty days.”
